I bagged meself a 1980s F.W. Evans light touring/sensible road frame. It's perfect (well, it doesn't have canti mounts, but otherwise perfect) but I can't find any information about it... it has a Tange headset, TA cranks, campagnolo dropouts, double eyelets front and back, and 531 double butted throughout. I can't find any catalogues on google - can anyone point me in the right direction?
It looks like this:
Also, is it possible to get canti mounts added, or will it over-stress the 531db forks/stays? This is purely a mechanical speculation regarding a 650b conversion (the brake drop would be something like 80mm were I to use calipers)... it may turn out not to be economically viable, anyway.
